Stalbridge Quarries provides Forest Marble limestone for building stone, drystone walling and paving.  The natural stone is a hard oolitic limestone, formed some 70 million years ago when this part of Somerset was a warm tropical sea.
       The geology of the stone, has left us with a very hard wearing, versatile and attractive stone.
       The stone has been in great demand since Roman times for the construction of houses, drysone walls, landscaping and paving.
